I didn't look at the details, but maybe it's cheaper to do something like
if !empty(${DEPENDS:C/<pattern matching valid dependencies>//})
?

1. The man pages states that the convention is to have the loop variable
start and end with a period.
2. What am I overlooking that
printf "%s\n" ${DEPENDS} ${BUILD_DEPENDS} ${TOOL_DEPENDS} ${CONFLICTS}
doesn't work?
